1. Oh home, never have you become desolate
How often you were in intimacy and safety

2. I fear for you from the fires of my heart
And protect you from the flood of my eyelids

3. I blame the events of the nights upon myself
And how much grief they caused a father for his son

4. Alas for a face and a promise
They are my two laments from a divorce and a child

5. I buried them and so extinguish your fires and say
I buried them, words that do not avail

6. So I frequented the abode and doubted my judgment
There at the grave of the buried one

7. Ask about me but when I ask about him
Then disturb me, for one tranquil, composed

8. And I am patient with adversities
And whoever flees sorrow, say I am he

9. And it was difficult for him, had he known my stance
And that I call to him but he does not answer me

10. Oh my, what the fates have sown
And what the days have seized from me

11. And how many a son and friend I have in you
They are the two brothers, my beauty and beauty

12. So neither a sobbing mother looked in your plains
Nor the daughter of a branch warbled in your valleys
